Let's talk Salary!

by Sales in DACH
Apr 22, 2026

Salary conversations. Everyone wants more. Almost no one knows how to actually do it well.

And a lot of people think this "I live in Munich.” is argument enough to get a raise

Unfortunately, none of that matters, because your company is not paying you for your situation. They’re paying you for your impact!

That’s exactly what Rouven Kramer breaks down in his Quick Win Challenge inside the Sales in DACH Ecosystem!

The biggest mistake

Most people argue from the past:

“I’ve done this…” “I achieved that…” “I’ve been here for X years…”

But salary conversations don’t work like that.

đź’ˇPRO TIP: The past is evidence. The future is negotiation power.


 

Your Salary Negotiations = Your Sales Negotiations

You need to do exactly what you do in sales 👉 Sell the future.


 

Instead of “I need more money because…” Think “Here’s the value I will create going forward.”


 

Because at the end of the day your company needs one questions to be answered:

“Why should I invest more in you?”


 

One simple shift

Take your personal situation and translate it into business value.

Example:

❌ “I live in an expensive city.”

✅ “I’ve built strong connections in this market and can leverage them for pipeline.”


 

Same reality. Completely different impact.


 

This is just one of Rouven's HOT TIPs 🌶️🔥

In his Quick Win Challenge inside the Sales in DACH Ecosystem, he shares a step-by-steap Guide to prepare for your next salary negotiation, from inside the same company to starting fresh at a new company!


 

One of the biggest takeaways for us:

Salary conversations are not emotional. They’re logical. Just like a sales call.

You are the product. 👉 Your company is the buyer.

And buyers don’t pay for features. They pay for outcomes.


 

And this is just one Quick Win inside the Sales in DACH Ecosystem…

André’s Objection Checklist

Get up to 60% of Pipeline from Referrals!
With over 16 years of experience in Sales, including roles at Eventbrite and leading Sales teams, Christoph Karger has learned one thing: Your next qualified opportunity might already be in someone else's network. But for some reason... Most Sellers don't actively ask for referrals. 🤔 And when they do, it's usually something along the lines of: "Hey, if you know anyone who could benefit from wh...
